Salin Plus Salt Therapy Questions & Answers (page 5 of 11)

Hi Puja, I have no idea about pharmacies in Melbourne as I am in Qld.
You can contact [email protected] or Free Phone 1800 011 653 and they should be able to help to tell you.
Also you can make all purchases on line at Salin Plus.com.au, all the best, Ray of sunshine.

Hi Leah, believe me it is well worth trying Salin Plus, besides they do have a money back trial period so
go ahead you may be pleasantly surprised! Ray of sunshine.

Many thanks for your early reply, as the person said it was a new filter he had installed
I was a bit wary of the smell it was blowing out and no way would I have used it, he said
it had been laid past for a while, so to me that’s why the smell,, I have a new filter ordered
and will give it a trial run for a day in spare bedroom before I put it in my bedroom!
Regards,
Dennis

Can the salt particles get through filter in cpap?

It may not work through Cpap. It would depend on what sort of filtering it does to the air.
However, you could use it elsewhere before bed to help your lungs.
For example, as you sit and watch TV, have it set up to blow the salt air across you.
I have no idea how bad your situation is but it may help to reduce the need for the Cpap.

Good Luck

Thank you

I made it myself from the old power supply. It should be 9 to 12 volts and about half an amper. It's a cheap korean engine, no great requirements and no electronics. I do not know why it's so expensive. I also made a switch for switching on and off

Hi Jean - I always replace my filter after 4 months of continuous use, taking account of any period when I was away on holidays, I find this the most effective way of utilising the benefits of the machine.

Thank you for your reply. I have mine over a year but use it only intermittently when kids are sick with colds /flu which is thankfully not often.

I haven't had a problem, suggest getting in touch with SalinPlus

Hi there,I have never experienced water anywhere around the device I have.The filter is just compacted salt and should not produce any water.Rember that it is an electrical device and therefore you should be careful around water.i would take the whole device with your receipt back to the shop and ask for a replacement

You can use Salin Plus in humid environments so long as your room is well insulated from the moisture outside. Avoid leaving your windows open when the humidity levels are high. Use a hygrometer to measure the relative Humidity level, try to keep it around 50 to 60%.

We do not recommend using Salin Plus in a damp room, as the salt filter absorbs the moisture in the air. You would be amazed how much moisture is in the air when the room is damp. If the filter absorbs this moisture, it acts like a sponge and ultimately can leak the water it has absorbed. The filter is much more effective when it is dry.

Having sold over 30,000 devices all across Australia in our first 4 years, we have seen this filter issue in around 1% of cases, typically in parts of Queensland where it can get very humid at certain times of the year. It comes down to the level of moisture in your home, which will vary depending on the structure of the home, and type of ventilation and air conditioning used.

If your home uses an evaporative air conditioner which emits moisture into the air that can cause moisture issues for the Salin Plus filter, whereas other types of air conditioners help to dry out the room and therefore help reduce the risk of any moisture issues.

The best way to protect your filter, is to remove the moisture from the air, and the best way to do this is with a dehumidifier. There are many different brands on the market to chose from. They are popular as they help reduce dust mite activity and mold spores which also effect respiratory conditions and no one likes a damp home.

Its better, in my experience to have the bedroom window closed. I started my salt therapy for enphysema at a Salts of the earth centre, this is a closed room where the salt is blown in, and each treatment is for 45 mins. I felt the benefits immediately. After several sessions I was able to exercise more and lose weight. However, the centre was 5 hours round trip away on public transport, so I started to look into in home treatment, this is when I found the Salin unit. I have now purchased the larger unit and I found this a great benefit. The smaller unit I taken on holiday with me.
